Flow as code - is it available in Xanadu's SN IDE and/or for Global records?

Hi,

In the following post:

https://www.servicenow.com/community/now-platform-blog/now-collaborate-with-your-team-in-real-time-w...

I've seen a mention of "flow as code". As far as I understand this would mean I can open up a Flow created in Flow Designer in the ServiceNow IDE app.

My questions are:

Does this indeed include older Flows that were created pre-IDE?

Otherwise, do I have to create a new workspace in IDE and define the Flow there if I wanted to see it both through IDE (as code) or in Flow Designer?

Can I edit a Flow in Global scope somehow using the IDE?

Am I missing any documentation on how to do all that? I'm having some trouble finding this information, maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords...

Flow support is currently in development, and we hope to have some more information on this in the coming releases.  For now I can say that we are aiming to support converting existing flows into fluent code that you can edit in the IDE or on desktop.  If they are part of your sys app then you will be able to convert them like any other piece of you app, but with proper Flow APIs to edit them as code.

Editing things in global are probably a longer term thing we are working on, as that is more complex to support right now.

Hi @BryceG! It's been 9 months since this post, and Zurich is almost out, so are there any updates available for either of these topics (Flows as code/Editing global scope items as code)?
